A School of the Sacred Heart

Principal’s Welcome


Welcome to Stuartholme School, where tradition meets innovation and every student is encouraged to flourish and grow. As the Principal, I am delighted to introduce you to our vibrant community and the myriad of opportunities that await your daughter here.

Stuartholme is a Years 5 to 12 Catholic Girls School in Brisbane and we are guided by the Sacred Heart Goals, which shape our educational philosophy and inform everything we do. Our Goals are the foundation upon which our school stands – a steadfast commitment to faith, intellectual growth, social awareness, building community and personal growth.

With just over 700 students, the School prides itself on being small enough for each student to be personally known, yet large enough to offer an extensive, ever-changing and dynamic range of opportunities.

As Brisbane’s only Catholic girls’ boarding school, Stuartholme’s boarding community remains in the centre of our heritage-listed main building. 150 girls live at Stuartholme and every interaction I experience is friendly and open-hearted. The boarders become sisters in the truest sense of the word. We see this bond stay just as strong years after they leave the Stuartholme gates.

Stuartholme is one of over 200 Sacred Heart Schools worldwide, an order founded by Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat in 1800. Sophie’s goal was to educate girls so they could have a transforming influence in society. Her educational approach remains relevant today, putting the students at the heart so they can be challenged in a supportive and affirming environment to reach their potential in all areas of development – spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical.

Our learning models are dynamic and engaging, fostering critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. With a focus on inquiry-based learning and real-world applications, we empower our students to become lifelong learners and compassionate leaders.

Beyond the classroom, Stuartholme offers a wealth of opportunities for students to explore their passions and interests. From competitive sports teams to vibrant arts programs, drama and musical performances, there is something for every student. We are also deeply committed to social justice, providing numerous avenues for students to engage with issues that matter and make a positive impact both within and beyond our community.

In the words of one of our Sisters, Mother Janet Erskine Stuart, a “Sacred Heart education is not meant to turn the children out small and finished but seriously begun on a wide basis. They must leave us with self-knowledge, energy, and purpose.”

I warmly invite you to visit Stuartholme and discover the vibrant and compassionate community which encompasses the values of faith, learning, community, social justice and personal growth that empowers young women to lead. Our community is a true testament of what a Stuartholme School education can provide.
